re: #115 Charles Johnson

I don’t think that was her point, that Beck, Gaffney, etc., are the SOLE cause of this kind of anti-American sentiment. She’s pointing out that their conspiracy theories and extreme rhetoric are having an influence.

Which, I think, is undeniable.

I think she made her case imperfectly. I almost dismissed it out of hand because I found it pretty doubtful that many Egyptians were listening to Glenn Beck or paying attention to Michelle Bachman speeches. The story only starts to make sense when it becomes apparent that Tawfik Okasha is spreading these stories and appearing at the protests.
